We have worked with various spring systems as garage door technicians at RJ Garage Door Service, serving Raleigh, Durham, and Fayetteville. The most common issue we get called to fix is broken garage door springs. This is usually due to houses having Torsion springs installed by the builder or homeowner. While Torsion Springs is often the go-to for many garage doors, converting to Torquemaster Brand Springs can provide many benefits over Torsion Spring systems.
Based on our years of experience, we recommend a garage door conversion from Torsion Springs to Torquemaster Springs. Here is why:
1. Clean and Concealed Design
One of the most significant advantages of the Torquemaster system is its sleek, concealed design. Unlike Torsion Springs, which are mounted at the front of the garage door and visible, Torquemaster springs are housed inside a metal tube. This hidden design creates a cleaner aesthetic and protects the springs from exposure to the elements, reducing the risk of rust and corrosion.
If you’re looking for a more streamlined appearance in your garage, especially if you use the space frequently or for purposes other than parking your car, Torquemaster Springs offers a tidier, more refined look.
2. Reduced Risk of Injury
Safety is a primary concern for every homeowner, and one of the appealing aspects of the Torquemaster system is that the springs are enclosed within a tube. This housing minimizes the risk of direct contact with the springs, which can be dangerous if they break or are mishandled. For families with children or if you’re concerned about safety during repairs, the Torquemaster system provides peace of mind by reducing the chance of accidental injuries.
3. Minimal Maintenance
With their enclosed design, Torquemaster Brand Springs requires less frequent visual inspection than Torsion Springs. The tube not only conceals the springs but also shields them from dirt, dust, and moisture, which can reduce wear over time. This means fewer routine maintenance checks are needed, making them an ideal choice for homeowners who prefer a low-maintenance system.
Additionally, when repairs are necessary, Torquemaster springs can be replaced relatively easily using the specialized tools designed for this system, which minimizes downtime.
4. Noise Reduction
For homeowners who prioritize quiet garage door operation, Torquemaster Brand Springs can offer an advantage. The enclosed spring system often results in a quieter function, as there’s less direct exposure to the elements that can cause friction and noise. This is especially important if your garage is attached to your home or if the noise from your garage door has been an issue in the past.
5. Controlled Tensioning System
One of the features that set Torquemaster Brand Springs apart is the precision and control in tensioning. These springs have a built-in winding mechanism for more controlled and consistent tensioning. This can lead to smoother operation and more consistent performance over time, particularly if the garage door is opened and closed multiple times daily. The Torquemaster system offers a reliable and consistent experience for homeowners who value precision.
6. Safety-Centered Design
The Torquemaster system has additional safety features, such as a backup locking mechanism. In the rare event that a spring does break, this mechanism prevents the spring from unwinding uncontrollably. This reduces the chance of injury or damage, adding an extra layer of security to your home.
